Renault boss Flavio Briatore has amitted to Reuters that his new Finnish star Heikki Kovalinen had an awful performance in his debeut grand prix in Australia earlier today when the young Finn only managed to finish 10th for the current world champions After making alot of mistakes and a couple of spins in the first race in Australia Flavio Briatore did not seem happy at all with the new Finn,

"Heikkis performance? i think everyone could see on TV and I don't need to protect anyone, it was rubbish," Briatore told Reuters. "What else an I say? If I tell you it was good then I'm a complete idiot."

"It wasn't very good," he added. "When you start like that you don't have any trouble getting better - there's plenty of room for improvement. It wasn't the Heikki we know from testing - I don't know what happened. We know he is good, but this performance was so bad - and we have to try to get the real Heikki for the next race."
